Local Governmental Employees’ Retirement System Board of Trustees

The Local Governmental Employees’ Retirement System (LGERS) provides benefits to employees of cities, towns, counties, boards, ​commissions, and other entities of local government in North Carolina. Because participation by local governments is voluntary, the operation of LGERS is dependent upon the acceptance and continuing financial support of the governing bodies and employees of local governments. The LGERS Board of Trustees is comprised of 13 members, including eight members representing local governments.
